Maltby Laser Frequency Machine

The Maltby Design Laser Frequency Machine is a valuable tool for clubmakers to consistently measure shaft frequency of both assembled clubs and raw shafts. Other frequency machines measure reflected light which often results in missed or inconsistent frequency readings. By using a laser as the primary light source, measurements are not affected by ambient or reflected light, shaft color or shaft material. New features for 2008 include:
1) A much improved clutch clamping system that will clamp both gripped golf clubs and raw shafts without changing clamps. 2) A heavy duty base to better protect the electronic components of the analyzer and to eliminate the need for raiser blocks when using on a workbench and 3) Heavy duty laser assembly with a dial locking mechanism to insure the laser lights stay permanently aligned. The LCD screen displays CPMs (cycles per minute) in both 3 and 5 digits for those clubmakers looking for unmatched precision readings. Complete instructions included. Operates on 110 VAC.

Is there an ASTM standard for this machine, or guidelines? can it be sent to me via pdf?do you have the ASTM no.? I searched ASTM.org with no results. Thank you, Gary Pell

Asked by: TATA

In the instruction book that comes with the machine and at this link under the section "Measuring A Shaft Only" we explain a method of profile testing a shaft. This is the method that was set up as the ASTM standard back in the early 90's. There is no ASTM standard, and never was a ASTM standard for clamping length or tip weight for all companies. Various companies have used different clamping dimensions with different tip weights.

Is this the only type of frequency machine available? How much to ship it to Australia?

Asked by: Zabar2001

Yes this is our only frequency machine. Shipping is approximately $112.00 but could be more depending on your postal code.

I am confused about the charts for my CPM machine, Do I read the flexesusing the diagonal lines? Is a perfectly matched set read in a vertical position or, diagonally inside the lines?

Asked by: Marc

When you measure the frequency of a club you also need to know it's finished length and it's swingweight. Take the length measurement from the left hand side of the chart and move across the chart to the frequency reading which comes from the bottom of the chart. Where these two numbers meet on the chart put a dot. Do this with all the clubs in the set. The dots may follow the line and reference stiffness that is listed on the chart or the slope and reference for stiffness could vary depending on the shafts in your set and how they have been set up for stiffness and how the particular shaft manufacture references their shaft flexes. If the swingweights are not the same it will change the readings. A 1 swingweight change from one club to the next is equal to a 1 cycle change in the frequency machine, say from 250 to 251. There is no industry standard for shaft flex or a flex progression within a set of shafts. That is up to each shaft manufacture. The stiffness references on our chart are averages that work pretty well in most cases.

I am trying to decide if I should buy this or the Mitchell digi-flex. I must say I did go to the Mitchell school. So my question is why don't I need all the different clamp sizes as I do with the Mitchell. Like the rifle shafts, grip no gripped, tips etc.
